Canyoning
Admire and experience the stream within the millennial work of water.
Descending on foot through torrents characterized by the presence of very deep and narrow gorges, jumps, slides, waterfalls, and toboggans carved into the rock by the millennial work of water defines Canyoning or Torrentismo: a practice that gives us access to pristine and otherwise inaccessible places.
A practice that gives us access to pristine and otherwise inaccessible places.
To do this, it is enough to walk along the banks and the bed of the stream itself, swim, slide in toboggans (natural rock slides created by water erosion), and descend with ropes.
Unlike other water activities, Canyoning is practiced with reduced and very reduced water flows. The Valsesia Sports Centers offer Canyoning outings in various streams of the valley: Sorba, Artogna, Rio Laghetto, Nonay and along the Gorges of the Sesia.
The guide will provide an initial lesson on techniques for progression in the gorge, swimming in moving water, and safety/rescue. The technical equipment (5mm neoprene wetsuit, harness, helmet, ropes, etc.) is provided by the reference center.
The Valsesia Sports Centers are equipped to accompany both individual participants and large groups.
The activity is recommended from late May to September.
